The FFB said CONCACAF Director of Competitions, Carlos Fernandez, informed them by letter on June 8 of Verdes participation in the Concacaf League.

“As per Concacaf protocol, whenever there is a change in the qualifications criteria for a club participating in any competition, it is of necessity for the Concacaf Council to approve for such a change. We inform you that the decision to have Verdes FC represent Belize in the upcoming 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf League was put in front of the Council on June 6th and approved.,” Concacaf said.

“We look forward to having Verdes FC as a participant in this competition and wish you and the Club all the best.”
